Our 7-year-old pit/lab mix started vomiting bile with red blood specks, had a low appetite, and vomited food when tried to eat. She was taken to the vet, who performed a CBC, CMP, lipase, and urine test, and did an ultrasound and X-ray, diagnosing her with gastritis and prescribing Cerenia. She passed a foul-smelling, green stool, hasn't vomited since starting Cerenia, but is now refusing to eat and is shivering. What should we do to help her, and when should we consider an ER visit?

Our dog got bumped by a car and doesn't seem to have broken anything. She is eating and drinking okay but won't stand up and whines in pain. What can I give her for her pain since we are out in the country and can't get to a vet until Monday?

My dog, Bella, a 9-year-old, is holding her left rear leg up and limping. She has been doing this for a few days. I can rub her leg without issues, but when I bend it inward, she cries. I have been giving her ibuprofen to ease the pain. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My beagle, Vanessa, has a fair amount of blood in her stool. She is lethargic, drinking water, and not showing signs of pain. She is 8 years old and has a history of reverse breathing. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 7-month-old dog, Roscoe, ate about 1 1/2 cups of a mixture containing mixed nuts, dried cranberries, dried dark cherries, and some dark chocolate about 45 minutes ago. He hasn't vomited and seems fine. Is there any cause for concern, and what should I monitor for?
